Job Description
The Blind Lab is looking for an outstanding recent PhD looking to continue their training in molecular biology / mammalian genetics, to focus on studying how drugs and a wide range of lipids regulate transcription and epigenetic marks in human cells or organoids, in various diseased and homeostatic states. Super-ideally, you’d have some experience working with some kind of organoids (intestinal epithelial or kidney), but no worries if you don’t have that experience.
The ideal candidate is a recent PhD with infectious, geeky enthusiasm for science who wants to work hard and play hard! We have a very healthy, happy lab culture that is extremely scientifically diverse. We are multidisciplinary to the bone: Four postdocs currently in the lab have done their PhDs in rainbow trout microbiome genomics, mechanical loading in computational biomedical engineering, cancer immune cell signaling, and the thermodynamics of transcription factor binding to DNA. We also have a PhD student doing biophysics/structural biology, an RA and ~12 undergrads running around helping everyone out… achem.

If you’re doubting your fit, take a shot and send me your CV! I got my postdoc at my number one choice lab with ZERO papers from my PhD, just some good letters.
If you’d like to discuss more, send your CV to ray at ray.blind@vanderbilt.edu
